Wow, I've got myself a record here. Watching two different movies in a theater in one year. The last time I did anything like that was back in 2003/04. My adoptive father worked in a mall and as a result, I got to see more movies in theater than ever before (or after).

The movie I saw was 2012, and I've got to say... I need to update my favorite movie on my profile here. Of course, Star Trek was good and all, but this movie tops anything I've seen in sheer epicness. It's hard to believe how much CGI has advanced since back in the olden days of 2003. It was made even more epic by the more outdated stuff (in terms of special effects) I've been seeing recently (Two Star Trek series, a couple of crap B movies, and Smallville, as well as older episodes of Stargate SG-1). I encourage all who can to see this movie. It is awesome.

Also today, I picked up some supplies that I'll be needing in the coming week since my adoptive parents will be going on vacation tomorrow. They'll be going to see my adoptive sister, who moved to New Hampshire this past month. While I was there, I got the chance to add Abrams' Star Trek to my Blu-Ray collection and I've just finished watching it. It's not as epic as it was in the theater, but it's still pretty good.

Another thing I'd like to talk about here (since it mostly pertains to the subject) is Stargate Universe. I'm a casual fan of Stargate and when I'm not too busy watching all my other TV shows, I always tune in. I have to say that I didn't have very high hopes for this show although the past episode has brought it from a 2 in my book to about an 8.5. This is just an individual episode rating, though. I still don't expect much from a Stargate series that takes place on a MOVING ship. "Universe" is to Stargate what Deep Space 9 was to Star Trek. Of course, Deep Space 9 got seven seasons, but that doesn't mean that EVERY Star Trek fan liked it.

I'm going to wrap this up now because this is one of my longer personal journals. I think you all can survive me not getting into the more gritty details here...
